    This document contains a short circuit current calculation for a power distribution system serving a plant. It describes the methodology used, which models the three-phase system as an equivalent single-phase network to calculate fault currents. It provides details on the system characteristics like voltage levels, source impedance, transformer specifications, cable sizes and lengths. The calculations determine the prospective fault currents at different points in the system by summing the impedances of all circuit elements between the fault location and source. The largest calculated fault current is 51.3 kA at a fault nearest the source.

    According to IEC 60909 Short -Circuit Current ,Equivalent single-Phase, Symmetrical,


    balance three phase network, Low voltage consumer, Electrical installation, MV network impedance
    This calculation is based on IEC 60909-0 "Short-circuits in three -phase a.c. systems- Part 0 : Calculation
    of currents " and uses the impedance method. In this method, it is assumed that all short circuits are
    negligible impedance (i.e. no arc impedance is allowed for).
    According to this method , it is possible to study a symmetrical, balanced three- phase network in quite
    simple way by reducing the three-phase network to a single one having the same value of rated voltage as
    the three-phase system line-to -neutral voltage
    Each component of the electrical installation (MV network, transformer, cable, busbar, and so on ) is
    characterized by its impedance Z, comprising an element of resistance. and an inductive reactance (X) .
    It may be noted that capacitive reactances are not important in short -circuit current calculations.
    Equivalent single-phase network for low voltage consumer

    Network impedace
    The 3 -phase short-circuit fault level Skn in MVA is given by the power supply authority concerned , from
    which an equivalent impedance ZQ can be deduced by formula

    ZQ = Ur2/Skn

    Ur = System voltage Medium voltage side = 22 KV PEA standard


    System voltage Low voltage side = 0.4 KV PEA standard
    Skn = Short Circuit Megga volt amp (MVA) of Network System = 250 MVA

    ZQ = 0.42 /250 = 0.00064 Ohm = 0.64 mOhm


    rQ is generally found to be negligible comred with the coresponding xQ, the latter then being taken as
    the ohmic value for ZQ = 0 mOhm
    xQ = 0.64 mOhm
    Transformer impedance
    The impedance ZT of a transformer, viewed from the LV terminals , is given by formula :

    ZT = (Ur2/Sn) * Usc

    where
    Sn rating of the transformer ( in VA)
    Usc the short- circuit impedance voltage of the transformer expressed in %
